Subject: Accessible Joomla plug-in
Hi All,
We are currently working on a website that includes Tab Layout and are
using Joomla 1.5.15 for building the website.
Does anyone know of a Joomla plug-in that includes keyboard support for
Tab layout?
Any help with this regards will be highly appreciated.
Thanks& Regards,

Upgrade your Joomla to 1.5.17, that's the latest stable release.

Those tools should be accurate for text-only combinations that don't
use transparency*, but I don't think they can detect the contents of
images. Regardless, if you need something that works absolutely on the
final rendered result, try
http://www.paciellogroup.com/resources/contrast-analyser.html which
gives you an on-screen selector.
Thanks Ben, and others for the suggestions.
* if you're using alpha transparency i've expanded on that point at

Good article on using alpha transparency.
Trying to get the site passes SC1.4.3, I have learned something new that
I was not aware before. The bar is high to building accessible site that
needs to take all WCAG 2.0 guidelines :-)
In my case, the site has made fully accessible (except that some part of
the site cannot work if Javascript switch off) the problem I have had
isn't about alpha transparency but background images that are not solid
colors but gradient with blended colors with variation of hues, and each
section consists a number of blocks that have lighter/darken texts. I
would have thought declaring a background color for the outer div wrap,
use darken text where lighter background area, lighter text for darken
background area should take care of it. This approach takes care of site
performance issue as it reduces extra http request, and keeping the
layout integrity with text size increases/decreases; the way I see it,
it's clean, and effective approach. But putting color contrast into
play, depending on the background color, it will go against either
darken or lighter foreground color.
Should SC1.4.3 not treating the background image as the measurement?
